Default Testing a heated seat

Found a used heated seat for a buddy of mine on Craigslist, came off an 09 CVO ultra. I am gonna take an ohm meter with me to check resistance but not sure what it should be . Any tips to verify its all good?

Guy sold the bike so I can't plug it in and won't have my bike to check it out.

It's just a thought, but, why not just hook up your 12 volt car battery to it?
